https://youtube.com/watch?v=B_DqbAlaKd0I'm sorry if it has already been posted, but the youtube lawyer that is going through the Maddox suit have also done a video talking about the Greer lawsuit.
Posted above if anyone is interested.
I'm also considering creating a thread in Lolcow LLP as soon as I have gotten the PDF and some more information about the actual lawsuit.
That subforum needs some love, but maybe it is better to keep Russ in this thread?
I've thought before that in a certain hyper-autistic light I can kind of see where Russ is coming from. There are some warning signs and disclaimers out there for some of the most painfully obvious shit, i.e. warning you the hot coffee you just ordered is hot or the bag of peanuts you just bought contains peanuts. Having a warning that the pretty lady on TV is not obliged to fuck you if you send her a present is roughly on par with the most obvious of those signs.
The problem he has is they are aimed at some of the stupidest people who can still breathe unassisted and if you admit you are that exceptional that you need a sign or disclaimer of that level you are neccessarily saying you are too stupid for people to bother with in the first place. He's trying to be the brilliant legal scholar you should respect and the helmet wearing simpleton you should pity in the same breath and the only possible outcome is hilarity.
Difference is there's a (completely inane but) valid reason for the coffee thing. McDonald's used to keep its coffee insanely hot, hence the lawsuit. If you're buying peanuts worth the expectation there aren't any peanuts in there, you're an idiot. If you expect Taylor Swift to suck you your penis because she went to a 17 year old's prom, you're a delusional sexpest.
To be fair, there are an awful lot of people in this world who don't understand the concept of a "gift" as something freely given as a token of love or admiration, with no strings attached, and no expectation of getting anything in return. Russell's not unusual in proclaiming pure, unselfish motives while attempting to manipulate the recipient into giving him the desired response.Someone in this thread earlier made the most crushing argument against his case, one that breaks it in half before he even starts any of his bullshit: that if the song was a gift, why does/did he expect anything in return for it, whether or not she accepted it? Just because he thought that she would write him a thank you note or something, or give him something in return, because when he went to parties as a little kid they always had like thank-you bags or something and he thinks that any time you do something you deserve a reward and are entitled to praise and love and favors in return? Maybe it's not polite but people dont even have to accept your gifts, especially if there are strings attached.
He's trying to paint himself as this innocent martyr who is selfless and "never wanted this to happen or for it to go this far but the injustice is too grave" but he trips over his own two dumbass feet before he can even get out of the gate--before he even tries moving. Only Rusty can do that.
Sorry if this is a repost - but does anyone have the scoop on this: https://sailortwift.com/tag/russell-greer/

Russell's not unusual in proclaiming pure, unselfish motives while attempting to manipulate the recipient into giving him the desired response.
What makes Russell unusual is that he openly admits to the self-serving agenda behind his gift.
I think Russell's telling the truth when he says his song is one he "wanted her to have, not to do"--the song is from his point of view, addressed to her, and meant to flatter her, so yeah, for her to do that one song would be a little weird. But by Taylor Swift accepting his tribute song, and having it, he fully expected to be given something in return: specifically, public recognition from her, and for her to use her connections to launch him into a career in the music industry. And maybe she'd even record future songs of his, as part of launching his songwriting career. He's been completely open and forthright about these desires all along.
But those are desires that most people would have the basic social awareness and competence to keep under their hats. They'd also be rational enough to understand that acceptance of the gift was no guarantee that they'd get their ulterior motives met. People who use gifts to manipulate others rarely reveal their true intentions so nakedly, because they understand that they are supposed to appear generous and unselfish when giving gifts--that's how they create feelings of gratitude and obligation in the unsuspecting recipient.
But Russell doesn't understand that; his social incompetence is that profound. So he just laid his ulterior motives right out there, as if they were perfectly reasonable--because to his fucked-up way of thinking, they are. And he sees no disconnect between his insistence that his song was a labor of love, a "gift from the heart," that should be exempt from the "no unsolicited works" rule because it's not meant to be recorded by Swift, and his expectation that it would lead Taylor Swift to go to dinner and play footsie with him before launching him on a glorious songwriting career. He just doesn't get it.
And he still thinks that if Taylor Swift had just accepted his damned song, everything would have worked out as he wanted it to. Had she accepted it, he probably still would not have met her, and she still wouldn't have launched him into a songwriting career (or any other career in the music business). In fact, had she posted his song to social media for other fans to hear, he would still have been ridiculed, because the song is shit--and thus he'd probably still be suing her for ruining his life by making him the target of mockery, as well as not posting disclaimers that her acceptance of gifts would not lead to meeting Swift in person, or positive publicity for the giver.
This so much. He thinks its perfectly reasonable to demand something back for a gift and the other person is bad for not reciprocating. He writes this stuff expecting people to side with him. He's really that delusional.
Another thing that puzzles me is how he expects to assign blame to Taylor Swift for sending him "subtle invitations" to write a song when he's done this for many others before Taylor like Farrah and Heidi Klum with NO success. That failure was the disclaimer he should have taken notice of. He should have been on alert that celebrities are not going to jump on his dick because he wrote a song for them. He really needs to be committed.
So let me get this straight. Days after he files seeking $100 million his opening salvo in the negotiation is to immediately, without even giving her people a chance to say anything, lower his demand to a tenth of the initial offer. The Litigator strikes again!I’m sure “Taylor Swift’s people” will understand and fork over the 10 million dollars no questions asked.

This was one of my favourite parts. "Having to determine which clef the note belonged to" on a piano is beyond exceptional. And as for the duration of each note- they're all 8ths. He tries to make it sound like he worked so hard on it when it literally takes a minute to do this. Also, 4/8 for the time signature?
